PAGID RS 42 Racing Brake Pad (Shape 1587) E158742010
The RS 42 compound (often known as Pagid Blue) is a proven medium-friction race pad for track days, club racing and fast-road use. It gives strong bite with very easy modulation, so you can control braking force with confidence. It beds in quickly, resists fade well, and is kind to discs compared with more aggressive compounds.
Why choose RS 42
– Balanced stopping power with predictable pedal feel
– Works from low temperatures yet stays stable under hard use
– Low fade and good consistency over long sessions
– Reasonably low disc wear for a motorsport pad
Best suited to
– Track days and driver training
– Club racing and sprints in light to medium-weight cars
– Historic and classic racing where smooth, controllable braking is key
– Fast-road builds that see regular spirited driving
Note: Like all performance pads, some noise and dust are normal. For very heavy cars, high-speed endurance or repeated maximum stops, consider a higher-friction endurance compound.
